He seems to be quietly distancing himself from MiC. He was only very briefly on it in the last series (Liv too, from what I recall). I think a lot of hate has been levelled at him because he allegedly sat back and allowed James to kiss another woman (because James isn't a big boy and can't make his own decisions) and then the Harvey cheating thing. But to be fair to him, he did advise Harvey to be honest with Emily but also didn't rat on him when Harvey decided to kept schtum and denied cheating. I don't think Tristan could have won either way. Damned if he did, damned if he didn't.
I remember when he first joined the show and Sam crashed his date with Habbs, then completely cockblocked him and eventually dated Habbs himself. Asshole move on Sam's part but Tristan was very dignified and nature throughout the whole thing.
tbf over the course of the show there have been a few moments were he hasn’t come across well based purely on his own actions/statements.
he lied on behalf of one of the guys cheating - I can’t remember if it was Harvey or James or both, and had some pretty grim double standards.
He’s come across as pretty controlling and sexist at various points.
he’s not the worst contender but most MIC guys are pretty problematic, narcissistic and sexist to varying degrees and Tristan is no different.
I really fancied him when he first joined the show but gradually his behaviour and mindset put me off him completely.
